A Principal Investigator at the Commission for Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), Madam Fidelia Owusu Konadu has said, government’s introduction of digitalization can help curb the fight against corruption.
Madam Fidelia Owusu Konadu, in an interview with Spice Fm, attributed the practice of the canker to cultural practices, poverty, nepotism and favouritism amongst others.
She announced that CHRAJ has the mandate of identifying and sealing loopholes in both private and public enterprises to curb corrupt activities perpetrated by officials.
According to her, the state losses 13.8 billion cedis to corruption every year which was not a good sign of winning the corruption fight.
She, however, mentioned that the introduction of digital platforms in administrative activities carried out by the government and private firms can reduce the high numbers of corruption.
She mentioned the introduction of clocking in of workers as a proper means to ensure and track the regularity and punctuality of workers in both private and public workplaces.
She further mentioned that the fight against corruption should be a collective effort where Ghanaians can report cases to appropriate quarters for perpetrators to be dealt with.
